“All I wanted was Showtime, but I somehow ended up with a time-share.”

This sounds like one of those tourist scams where they just try to confuse you until you give up and hand them $20 to go away.

I remember buying a 340MB hard drive in about 1994 for $349, and being so excited that it was under a dollar a megabyte! WOW!

Sometimes I’ll be watching or listening to something made in the UK but it’ll have an American character say like “the group are doing this” and it immediately breaks my immersion.

Possibly. But I don’t believe ten years from now we’re going to look back and decide that Andrew’s Tate’s output and philosophy were essentially harmless. Ten years after the Satanic Panic nonsense, everyone (except sad evangelicals) realized that AC/DC and Judas Priest were just rock bands and so they could sing…

Cockroaches, lice, and bed bugs are my only friends
